Their reasoning is probably that pristine copies of the original Kenner figure (with box) can top $1,000 - so they're hoping a 'half-priced' and over-sized pristine repro will appeal to that market.
If GG were more specific about edition size (it's only tagged as 'Limited Edition'), then perhaps the pricing would have some logical basis - but even if only 200 were made I'd still argue it to be horribly over-priced.
I mean, even Neca's 18" Big Chap from a few years back was well under $100 when released, and that's still a very impressive figure. Indeed, Neca's recently released Series 2 Alien + Aliens figures may well see upscaling to 18", which would make GG's pricing on their Kenner Repro even more ridiculous.
